Hello,
here is the June 2016 report for SponsorR:
- Continued reviewing, testing and fixing bugs on the shared randomness
subsystem (prop250). Our branch has been updated and is ready for merge
(#16943).
We also wrote a patch for updating dir-spec.txt with the changes that are
going to be induced by prop250 to consensuses and votes (#17435).
- Development continued on prop224 (next gen hidden services).
We continued developing HSDir support for prop224. Our branch for encoding
and decoding hidden service descriptors is currently under review:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17238
We also worked on refactoring the current hidden service data structures so
that they can also support prop224 hidden services without having to rewrite
the whole hidden service codebase (#19024).
- Revisited the overlap descriptor logic of prop224 and specified improvements
to the system:

- Investigated various issues with the hidden service protocol when used by
unreliable devices like mobile phones on 3G. Ideally, hidden services should
be able to support those kind of devices as well, without any reachability
issues:

Through this discussion we also found a bug in the intro point retry logic
for hidden services:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19522
- Onionboat is a project for easily hosting hidden services using Docker:

https://github.com/jheretic/onionboat
- Discussed the possibility of combining Tor hidden services with freenet:
